Indeed.

I remembered last night that I did not suggest pcre_compile16 as a name, 
but rather pcre16_compile. So we don't have an ugliness with 
pcre16_compile2 at all. It isn't really a big issue, but I think the two 
sets

pcre_compile   pcre16_compile
pcre_exec      pcre16_exec
etc.

is a bit neater than

pcre_compile   pcre_compile_16
pcre_exec      pcre_exec_16

In an alphabetic listing all the pcre16's would sort together.
